Kristofferson box set

Legacy Recordings will celebrate the 80th birthday of Kris Kristofferson with the June 10 release of The Complete Monument & Columbia Album Collection, a 16-CD deluxe box set.

The most comprehensive Kris Kristofferson musical library ever assembled, The Complete Monument & Columbia Album Collection brings together 11 essential studio albums, recorded by the artist from 1970 through 1981, individually packaged in a facsimile sleeve reproducing the original album artwork.

In addition, the box set includes five bonus discs of unreleased and hard-to-find live and studio material drawn from Kristofferson’s extraordinary golden era with the Monument and Columbia Records labels. Bonus material includes three highly-collectible concert recordings (two of them previously unreleased) from 1970-1972 and two full discs of rarities featuring non-LP singles, studio outtakes, rare appearances, previously unavailable demos and more.

The Complete Monument & Columbia Album Collection box set includes a deluxe booklet featuring essays and liner notes penned especially for this anthology: 1) an introduction to Kristofferson written by Fred Foster, the visionary founder of Monument Records who signed Kristofferson as a songwriter to Combine Music and a recording artist for Monument, the label that released his debut album in 1970; 2) an aesthetic appreciation of the artist—”Kris Kristofferson True American Hero”—by musician/producer Don Was; and 3) a revelatory and insightful portrait of Kristofferson and his music from American writer and journalist Mikal Gilmore.

Legacy Recordings is the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment. Kristofferson will turn 80 on June 22.
